Been testing Grok for quick queries, but the response time is honestly brutal. A straightforward prompt took over 111 seconds to process—that's way too long for simple questions. Really wondering what's happening on the backend here. Meanwhile, ChatGPT handles the same type of queries in seconds. The speed gap between them is pretty noticeable. Anyone else experiencing this lag, or is it just me? Makes you think about where the optimization priorities are.

111 seconds?? Grok's speed is just too outrageous ngl, after using it for so long, ChatGPT is still more stable. Grok's optimization is a bit disappointing The backend is probably slacking off...

grok's reaction speed is really amazing, 111 seconds? I thought the network was down. --- ChatGPT responds instantly, grok takes two minutes, this gap is a bit outrageous. --- 111 seconds to handle a simple problem, what's really going on with the backend? It seems like optimization isn't on the agenda. --- The same problem GPT solves instantly, grok is painfully slow, no wonder no one uses it. --- It's not just you, I've encountered it too. grok is just like that, slow as a turtle. --- The gap in optimization ability is quite large, it feels like grok is still in the debugging stage.

Grok, that speed is really amazing, 111 seconds? I thought there was a bug.

111 seconds? That's too outrageous. I thought my internet was down. Grok's speed is really unbearable; compared to ChatGPT, it's completely crushed. Can the backend optimization be a bit more attentive? Who would dare to use it like this? It feels like they just forcibly released a beta version, and the experience is extremely terrible.

111 seconds? Man, your internet must be really bad. --- grok really sucks, I've tried it too, probably the backend is just slacking off. --- This performance gap... Elon needs to reflect on it. --- ChatGPT responds in seconds, grok takes half a day, there's no comparison. --- It's already 2024 and still this slow, unbelievable. --- It's not your fault, grok just has this kind of performance. --- Backend optimization? I think it hasn't been optimized. --- Waiting 111 seconds is better than manually typing the answer yourself.

111 seconds? Bro, what are you doing? Mining? Grok, this speed really... Did the project team prioritize optimization backwards? I have three kids, and I've never experienced such lag. The betting agreement must be added; with this response time, it's just unusable.

111 seconds? Man, that's so slow. GPT can produce results in seconds, while Grok takes two minutes. The gap is really huge.
